The Juneteenth Community Organization hosted its fourth annual three-on-three basketball tournament on Friday at the Black River Coliseum. After hosting the last three events at Bacon Park, the committee decided to move the tournament inside. The plan was to allow more players to play and have a more comfortable spot to compete. The event included entertainment, and the organization honored a few local athletes and coaches in the surrounding areas.
